Macho Paradigm
The Macho Paradigm is when you’re told you’re weak if you don’t act like a man, even if that man is a total idiot. It’s like being forced to fight a goat with a spoon.
My brother got called a ‘girl’ for not eating his vegetables.
My dad said, 'Men don’t get hurt, they just pretend they’re fine.'
My uncle tried to wrestle a bear and got beaten up.
